Colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers, but it can be prevented or detected at an early stage through regular screening and endoscopic removal of polyps. These procedures help prevent progression to invasive cancer. If you are concerned about screening or an endoscopic procedure, our department specializes in personalized care. A medical prescription may be required before making an appointment.

Our department offers cutting-edge expertise in the screening and endoscopic treatment of colorectal polyps and cancers. We perform diagnostic colonoscopies and advanced endoscopic resections, including polypectomy, mucosectomy, ESD (endoscopic submucosal dissection), and full-thickness resection (FTRD). Our multidisciplinary teams include gastroenterologists, digestive surgeons, and oncologists, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care.

We also specialize in the follow-up of high-risk patients (family or personal history) and in supporting treatments after diagnosis. Our modern equipment guarantees precise and safe procedures, minimizing complications and promoting rapid recovery.

Regular screening is recommended from the age of 50, or earlier in case of family history. Consult a physician in case of rectal bleeding, persistent abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits. In case of acute symptoms (severe pain or obstruction), urgent care is required.

Our department has implemented quality monitoring of our examinations (rate of good bowel preparation, caecal intubation rate, adenoma detection rate). This is published in each report. We participate in research projects on innovative endoscopic techniques, such as ESD, and on optimizing colorectal cancer screening (artificial intelligence). We are also certified for organized screening, guaranteeing high-quality care.
